Destination Wedding Boarding Pass (Video)

What better motif for a destination wedding in Puerto Rico could there be than a boarding pass? That’s what designer, A Day in May of Traverse City, MI, set out to create with this sophisticated and clever piece.

Printed by Full Circle Press in Nevada City, CA, the size and diecut shape of the boarding pass are spot on. But what really sets this project apart is the subtle pattern in the background. A blind hit from the letterpress on the 110-lb. Mohawk Loop Felt Cover adds a wonderful leathery texture and an air of authenticity.
